    Hey. Finally got around to installing my coilovers. I'm pretty much smooth on everything except camber adjustment. I know there is a lower camber adjustment at the strut bolts which I adjusted to give the most camber, and then also the upper mounts. I need 4 degrees camber all around. I'm at about 2 in front and 2.5 in back. I am going to dial in the upper mounts up front but I'm wondering how you adjust camber in the rear.

    Any tips? Thanks.

    you can slot the top camber bolt holes on the coilover itself and get a few degrees.

    Do you already have them? I do and they make a slight difference but not much.

    Thanks babe.

    I'm only looking for 1 1/2 or 2 extra degrees. Would using just a smaller bolt up top be dangerous?

    PS your pics don't load for me.

    I guess your wheels don't fit, so you need more camber?

    No right click on a phone. And before you say something clever about how it's a phone problem or whatever, don't care.
